Let's Build Something Today! See if you can Catch my Mistake!

What happens here

After the new raised bed is fully assembled, prepare to stain it and the existing beds. Use Wood Defender Semi-Transparent Fence Stain (black) and a pump sprayer. Ensure you are not staining on a windy day to prevent overspray. Wear a respirator for safety. Apply the stain thoroughly, aiming for a 'soaking wet' application to ensure deep penetration and maximum wood preservation. The creator applies the stain to the exterior and interior surfaces of the new bed, as well as the previously built black raised beds. He notes that the first coat will soak in significantly more material due to the wood's dryness.

Goal: Preserve and color the raised garden beds
